Difficult to price, but I'd say between 4 to 5 grand. It would only appeal to a very small amount of people so selling it could be hard. _________________ [Click here to pay ransom to view photos] |

Firstly, get some pictures up.
Secondly, finish it!
If it's in a state which means the buyer could still complete the resto to factory spec - that might appeal more to some.
Flog the engine and gearbox separately. _________________ "A fine example of how not to build a car..."

If you get the car in running condition you will have more chance of selling it.
Like Jon said its worth a fair bit of money but selling a project car, even in such good condition is going to be difficult. Not impossible but certainly harder than if it was a runner.
I don't know your circumstances and I'm sure you don't actually want to sell it. Just trying to advise.
If it was a runner i'd say 6k+ |

Looks lovely from the pics.
Leave it in the barn if you can't do it now. _________________ "A fine example of how not to build a car..."

I've just been looking through the pictures on your Photobucket account and the car looks stunning. I wish I could have it myself but too many cars and not enough space. Get some decent pics up and you are best posting it on a busier site such as facebook or ebay. You have a stunning car and someone is going to absolutely cherish it. Don't short sell it, the work you have done looks good. All the best with the future mate _________________ There's no such thing as a stupid question... Just stupid people! |
